Book Description
Design, development, and implementation of a computerized police personnel management information system (PPMIS) in Dade County, Florida, and Dallas, Texas, are reported. A PPMIS can aid with complex administrative problems by making all useful employee information readily available: it may prove particularly useful in meeting the requirements of civil rights legislation and for police personnel research. Depending on the complexity of the system, a PPMIS may be used in training, evaluation and for evaluation and performance counseling. In planning for a PPMIS, decisions should first be made on the type of information that will be collected, the method which will be used for obtaining data, the type of reports which will be used (operational, regulatory and/or analytical), updating procedures, and data security precautions. For both the Dallas and the Dade County police inaccessible and obsolete personnel information was a major problem and there was a pressing need to broaden channels of communication, reduce useless duplication of information, and formalize placement procedures. Prior to implementation of the PPMIS, both relied on a manual process of personnel record maintenance. Objectives of the Dallas PPMIS included provision of a personal history file for each officer, a personnel position file, a bimonthly review of court dates for each officer, a means for creating departmental mailing lists, monthly batches of personnel changes and police personnel, and monthly totals by rank, race and sex of sworn personnel as well as monthly strength reports and a comparison of authorized versus actual personnel. Dade county objectives included the provision of a centrally located means of storing, selectively retrieving, statistically manipulating a large amount of personnel information in a secure, pertinent, and simple-to-use system, and to provide a means for monitoring usage and possible expansion in response to future needs. Both systems incorporate a number of security precautions to ensure privacy and confidentiality of information. Implementation and monthly maintenance costs for the computerized systems are compared with manual system costs. The following steps should be used in implementation of a PPMIS: (1) obtain advice and support of city or county technical computer personnel; (2) compile a master subject list; (3) contact all supervisory personnel who will be using the system and describe the system to them; (4) identify all files containing information on sworn personnel; (5) locate and obtain sample copies of all forms used by the department over the past 25 years and analyze information categories; (6) have all users review this list; (7) create a personnel update form; (8) begin data collection and check for accuracy and legibility; and (9) once system is operational provide user orientation and training sessions. Appendixes include data forms, information items included in both the Dallas and Dade County systems, data collection forms, and sample profiles from the Dallas PPMIS. References are included.

Book Description
A reference work for use by personnel managers in police agencies is presented; topics discussed include personnel planning, recruiting, the selection process, basic training, performance appraisal, and labor relations. Police personnel management must find, hire, and keep police employees who can and will work at above-average levels and achieve meaning and satisfaction in so doing. The historical development of police agencies, personnel planning, and equal employment opportunity are highlighted. The job of patrol officer constitutes the core of all police work. The changes in hiring policy include the acceptance on an equal basis of women applicants and increased use of civilians in various specialist capacities. Legislation and case law forbid discrimination in employment; however, ratio hiring and promotion may temporarily produce unequal employment opportunities. The recruiting and the selection process also are described. Several modern developments enlarged recruitment from any target population, including an end to local residence requirements, modification of age, eyesight, and height requirements, and implementation of equal employment opportunity legislation. Applicants' achievement on physical performance and written tests, oral interviews, psychological screening, medical examination, and background investigation are used in the selection process. Also discussed are career development aspects such as basic training, personnel information systems, employee development programs, and employee education. Internal justice administration includes performance appraisal, discipline, and grievances. The topic of employee support and retention covers jobs structure and salary planning, labor relations, collective bargaining, police union contracts, and terminations. Finally future trends in research and development, such as the investigation of adequately measuring police officer effectiveness, are discussed. Photographs, diagrams, charts, an index, and a selected bibliography are provided in the book.

The operational environment of police personnel administration, the personnel function, manpower development, internal affairs, and police labor relations are discussed. A historical overview of police personnel administration, a review of police organization, and a discussion of the role of the police officer provide a foundation for this work. Introductions to personnel administration in a police department, in a municipal personnel agency, and in the federal government are also given. An analysis of interrelated aspects of compensation administration and conditions of employment is provided as well. Such topics as recruitment, selection, training, personnel evaluation, leadership, and promotion are included, and issues in internal affairs such as communication, interpersonal behavior, and disciplinary actions are discussed. Featured in the discussion of labor relations in law enforcement are such factors as employee organization, collective bargaining, job actions, grievance machinery, and the role of the police management in labor relations.
